Do you dare find out what's happening behind the counters of your neighborhood fast-food joint? Then grab a bucket and dive into one of the creepiest graphic novels of the year! Supersized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture is an entertaining&mdash;and at times gut-wrenching&mdash;series of stories focusing on America's ubiquitous and potentially destructive fast-food culture. A perfect companion to Super Size Me, the graphic novel bridges the gaps between humor, fact, and heart, while peering behind the scenes of the fast-food world.

• Written by Morgan Spurlock with writer Jeremy Barlow and drawn by a variety of creators, Supersized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture is an original graphic-novel companion to the Academy Award-nominated movie and expands on some of the bizarre stories not featured in the original film.

• The creative brain trust behind The Simpsons chose Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, 30 Days, Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?) to direct the Simpsons twentieth-anniversary documentary.

Morgan Spurlock handed over some tales he did not cover in his film Super Size Me to artists in the Dark Horse stable to create Supersized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture. Co-written for the most part with Jeremy Barlow, the effort integrates the theme of the film, going 30 days eating nothing but fast food from McDonalds, with a set of behind-the scenes tales that are so extreme in their disgustingness that the main issue of the film is pretty much lost in the comic book effort. Kids spit in prepared food, pick up food off the floor and pack it up for folks at the drive-through, spiders in a soda cup are drunk down by a kid and then burst out his nose. These gross tales are deep in the well of urban mythology and you have to wonder if any out-at-the-fringe argument can ever be used to reach a conclusion about norms, even if these extreme tales are actually true.

This is too bad, for the valuable message in this collection of stories is found in more subtle truths. Too many processed carbs are really bad for you. Fast food does not decay like other food does, making you wonder how much preservative your body can take. E. Coli is a direct result of poor handling of food and rush job lunches greatly increase your chances of being exposed. The good points of Spurlock's arguments are sort of buried under the headline; Let's Watch a Nice Drawing of Someone Vomiting. If the gross is too gross, the people who would learn something from the book will never get to that point.

The artwork in the work is outstanding. A super chubby NOT Ronald McDonald is particularly funny, as is the table of contents imitation of a food content label. "Serving Size 1, Servings Per Container 30".Read more ›

This is absolutely terrible and a complete waste of money. I should have listened to that which the other negative reviewers said, but I really wanted to believe that a book couldn't be published if it was a piece of horse poop. Evidently I was wrong.

It's supposed to be a book about the craziest, most discusting things that have ever happened in the fast food industry. Instead, it's a badly made comic book about this one time some guy spit in a salad or a fellow employee came to work stoned. OMG, SHOCKING!! No. Don't buy.

Got this book for my daughter for college. It arrived on time and in good condition. My daughter was surprised by the comic version but I'm sure it will hold more interest in class than a typical book.
